I am trying to cross-compile my project which links to a C library (libmpv). I have created a build.rs file which contains:
fn main() {
println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=mpv");
println!("cargo:rustc-link-search=native=/mnt/data/libmpv_musl");
}
Cargo.toml:
[package]
(snip)
edition = "2018"
build = "build.rs"
links = "mpv"
.cargo/config:
[target.armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf]
linker = "armv7-linux-musleabihf-gcc"
As you can see I added build = "build.rs" to Cargo.toml, specified the toolchain and linker in .cargo/config and I am building with cargo build --target armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf. Unfortunately linking fails:
armv7-linux-musleabihf/bin/ld: cannot find -lmpv
The (huge) command emitted by Cargo -vv is:

What am I missing here? Of course the library is in the specified directory and compiling equivalent C code with the same toolchain does work.
If I manually put the -lmpv part at the end of the command it does succeed, how can I instruct Cargo to do this for me?

is it a static library ? my guess would be, because rust puts "-static" before the linkage ld will only see static libraries
if it's a dynamic library you could try
println!("cargo:rustc-link-lib=dylib=mpv");
No it is not, good call! Unfortunately this does not fix the issue, the errror remains the same. The command issued by Cargo/rustc is now:

I made some progress, using:
strace -f cargo build --target armv7-unknown-linux-musleabihf 2>&1 | grep mpv
I found out that Rust lets the linker search for a static library instead of a dynamic library, regardless of what type I provided in build.rs for the value cargo:rustc-link-lib. I read somewhere that the musl targets are commonly used for static linking, but I wouldn't mind dynamically linking to musl libc.
How can I force dynamic linking?
Edit: Found it! You need to add the following to your RUSTFLAGS:
-C target-feature=-crt-static
